Free camera API

Other mods use the library to switch into a free camera mode and modify the camera state from code. The camera internals are decoupled, which reduces the complexity a dependent mod has to handle. A plugin class is created by the dependent mod, given a unique identifier string and a priority such as ModifierPriority.HIGH or ModifierPriority.LOWEST, and it updates the camera data frame each tick. Camera, Zoom and Camera Anim are among the mods that rely on it, and Free Camera API Tripod is listed as requiring it as well.

Chunk loading can reach beyond the player's view range when expansion is enabled, so terrain stays loaded around a moved camera. Block collision detection is off by default and can be turned on in the configuration interface. The default key mapping for the free camera mode requires manual setup. The environment is client required and server optional: players need the library, and a server that runs it force-enables the mod, while a server without it leaves the client settings in place. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public links for the source and the issue tracker.
